: The Ministry of Health affirmed that no local flour brand surpasses the legal limits for benzoyl peroxide content on the market.
“The Codex Alimentarius Commission , an international body affiliated with the United Nations’ Joint Food and Agriculture Organisation and the World Health Organisation Food Standards Programme , has approved the use of benzoyl peroxide as an additive in wheat flour, not exceeding 60 mg per kg,“ stated the announcement.
MOH emphasised that it has acknowledged the concerns circulating on social media regarding the purported health impacts of using benzoyl peroxide in wheat flour, and has previously issued two media statements in 2012 and 2017, to prevent any confusion on the matter.
